McFarlane's vision for the new movie

The simple answer is yes. It's not going to be a continuation. It's not going to be a sequel. Scrub the first movie... It's going to be a dark, R-rated, scary, badass sort of script. It's not a nice, polite PG-13..."

He makes it sound very ethereal. I don't know what to expect.

Sounds interesting, but also sounds like it might be too experimental for a mass audience.

I shall be playing the role of Spawn...even though I'm white...

That could actually work, considering his powers only let him turn into a white guy. 😛

Is this with Al Simmons Spawn?

I wonder how much interest there is in Spawn now days.

I remember in 1997, McFarlane & Spawn had the field all to themselves. DC & Warners just crashed and burned with Batman & Robin, and Marvel was still straightening out their entertainment division (plus the screen rights to Spider Man were still being squabbled over in court.) McFarlane was crowing about how he and his friends got to make Spawn their way, with no studio interference.

And the results were just...meh.

19 years later, McFarlane still hasn't followed up! Talk about squandering your advantage.

Aside from some dated and badly designed CGI, Spawn is actually pretty entertaining.

Spawn's (cgi) cape having a life of it's own was something I always wished they'd do with Bats' cape, giving it a "life of it's own."

Bats appearing on screen with a billowing cape behind him would be so much more dramatic...demonic to criminals.

I heard mcfarlane describing this on "geeking out" and it doesnt sound good.

He also said he had an oscar winner or nominee on board... Could be jamie foxx.

Hell no im tired of seeing him like hes the only black dude is Hollywood or something...

But he just has such an awesome presence as an actor. Seems like he'd be great for Spawn.

In the comic, yes. He tried using his magic to look human for his wife, and kept changing into a blonde haired, blue eyed white guy.

Yes I'm sure that change was an "accident".

No, it was Malebolgia messing with him, probably to make him waste magic.

Another update from McFarlane

http://comicbook.com/2016/12/02/todd-mcfarlane-on-the-status-of-the-spawn-movie/

"It's slowly moving forward, just trying to put all the pieces together both from an artistic and a financial. The intent is trying to finance as much as possible internally and then finding partners who will help in the production of it as we move forward,"

What I can tell you is what I've told everybody else: it will be a definite R. I'm not going for the same crowd that Marvel and DC is going for; I'm going for the same crowd that horror film releases going for. People who want to take their boyfriend or girlfriend or go out with the girls and go to the movies and get spooked."

Leech, I need to make a t-shirt with this image hahaha.

Heard the Jamie Foxx and the movie being a hard R a couple years back. We'll see if it gets going for real.

As for Spawn, Eriq La Salle FTW.

How has La Salle aged? I haven't seen him in anything in a long while aside from one-episode guest spots.

Don't knock Leguizamo, his clown was amazeballs. One guy who I think rarely gets much credit for how good he is as an actor.

THIS!

Leguizamo is one of the greatest working actors today. Check out his one man shows Sexaholics and Freak. He jumps through over 20 different characters in an instant.

I can't believe those shows were around 20 years ago now. Saying that... so was the original Spawn film.

McFarlane is interesting as long as he gets the tone right. It's great when directors nail genres different to their origins.

Yes!! 😂 😂 😂

Yeah, if the Reboot doesn't have Leguizamo in it, count me out!!
